1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe exact mechanism causing decreased expression of the dual specific phosphatase-1 ( DUSP-1) gene in diabetes-associated cardiac hypertrophy is not known. DNA promoter methylation is often associated with decreased gene expression in many diseases including cardiovascular diseases. So, we investigated whether epigenetic silencing via promoter methylation is involved in the decreased expression of DUSP-1 in diabetes-associated cardiac hypertrophy.

methodsReal-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting confirmed the down regulation of the DUSP-1 gene at transcriptional and translational levels. Bisulfite-converted DNA samples from myocardium of rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), high glucose (HG)-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and cardiac tissues from archived human myocardial DCM autopsies along with their respective controls were analyzed for methylation in the promoter region of the DUSP-1 gene.

resultsWe observed no methylation in the promoter regions of the DUSP-1 gene in DCM rat hearts, in HG-treated NRCMs (between -355 bp and -174 bp) and in cardiac tissues from archived human myocardial DCM autopsies (between -274 bp and -73 bp).

conclusionMethylation-mediated silencing of the DUSP-1 promoter does not appear to be associated with reduced expression, indicating the involvement of other factors in specific suppression of DUSP-1 in diabetes-associated cardiac hypertrophy.
